I think its to be expected that people (moderators in this instance) who give their time for free for a thankless job would want to make said job less painful/long/complex.
I dont know the effort they put in, the hours to understand each individual report. Coming from someone who doesnt know I obviously dislike the year long name change. But I understand where they are coming from. And if it helps ease the workload of having the track every shitposter/report ticket/etc than so be it. Maybe in the near future the timer could be reduce, or another solution all-together might come along.
